The evaluation purpose was to (a) assess ‘the pilot’s viability as a cost-effective intervention for adolescents’ suicide prevention and mental health promotion’, and (b) ‘document the Kazakhstani experience in customizing methodologies and approaches with possible use by other countries confronting similar issues in respect to adolescents’ mortality and mental health’.
Specific objectives of the evaluation, as presented in the ToR were to:
1. To identify the extent to which the ASP programme in Kyzylorda Oblast has achieved its objectives, and the results that have been achieved to date, including any unintended results from the pilot, as well as their particularity at outputs at the individual, household and community levels.
2. To identify the opportunities and constraints the programme has faced and draw lessons and good practices from them.
3. To assess the cost benefit of the pilot (final costing methodology depends on availability of data).
4. To identify the extent to which cross-cutting strategies such as a human-rights-based approach, results-based management and gender equity have been mainstreamed in the design and implementation of the programme.
